My fall favorite!

Apple Tart



Crust
1 Cup+1 Tbsp ~ All-purpose flour
1/2 tps salt
1/3 Cup cold shortening
3-5 Tbsp ice cold water

Mix flour and salt in a Medium bowl, cut in shortening using a fork (or if you are high speed a pastry blender). This should look like small crumbs roughly pea sized. Add water one Tbsp at a time until all the flour is moist and pastry almost leaves the sides of the bowl. Gather into a flat round blob (kinda like a big hamburger patty) wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Use a floured rolling pin to roll your pie crust out. It should end up about a 1/4 of an inch thick or less.

Filling

2/3 Cup Brown sugar
1Tbsp cold butter
4 Cups sliced apples (about 4 medium apples)
1 Tbsp flour

Mix together sugar and flour, add the apple slices put in pastry crust, and crumble butter over the top of the apple mixture.  Fold edges of the pastry up over mixture.

Bake

Now I do not use a pie pan I use a pizza pan so that it bakes flat and the pastry is a little crisper.
425 degrees for 25 minutes.
